I've been hesitant to buy either kanban or on mars for solo. I had doubts about kanban because of its complexity at first glance. This is by far the best video I've watch to understand the flow of a game and if it fits my expectations. Here, it does, I cannot wait to play it. Amazing job Paul, many thanks for this !!

The best partnership ever, eagle griffin games with your walk through. Great job as ever Paul. Anyone want to buy the 2016 version from me?? Lol

Concise and helpful rules video! This type of thing definitely improves board games as a product to be enjoyed by making it easy for new players to get started quickly. As a game buyer and game night host, I thank you for your work.

Your videos are excellent. Whenever I learn a heavy game like this one, I read through the rulebook, play a full game slowly by myself, and then watch your video to reinforce what I learned and discover what things I did incorrectly or overlooked. Thank you for providing such a great resource!

got the complete bundle last week so finally digging in to learning how to play this solo first, another great video to help get up to speed reading the rulebook along with watching each section one time through and i already feel confident to play this weighty game no issues cheers

Thanks for the video, I've been watching a lot of your tutorial videos lately and they have all been outstanding!

Thank you for the clear explanation!

Having this video loaded up next to me while I learn to play this game saved my sanity! Thank you so much for those time stamps! I just hit that button every time I was in a new section. Helped me learn the flow of the game so much better than having to stop everything to flip through different rule books to learn all the symbols and to see if I was missing anything. Thank you thank you thank you!

Thank you so much for this video. It was very helpful and saved us a lot of time figuring stuff out. And there's a lot to wrap your head around. 🤯

Thanks a lot. Very clear. Can't wait for it to arrive!

Wonderful job, Paul! Thank you so much!

Ahh yes, I’m so looking forward to watching this video! Can’t wait for my copy to arrive.

Great video, the component close-ups really help with clarity!

Thanks so much for this! Super clear explanation. Just about to crack into the game for the first time...wish us luck!

Great job Paul. My favorite Lacerda project.

Thanks very much for an excellent overview of the rules, I misunderstood how the kanban order cards worked and this was very helpful in correcting that understanding!

Thanks so much Paul, always appreciated!

My prayer goes to whoever has the duty of teaching this game to their group....

Two little tweaks to gameplay that I'm happy to see: 1) moving the tested designs to the top of the player board is going to be a huge help when scoring (for some reason I always found this a difficult rule to explain). 2) flipping the car part to show that it's been double upgraded so that people don't have to guess (lordy there's enough going on without having to try to remember which parts have already been 2x'd!)

Absolutely brilliant game. I love all 3 versions of Kanban!

I have to say, Paul... Fantastic work on the rules! This and On Mars rules are the litmus by which I judge all rules. Great video too!

Fantastic overview!!

Thanks! Clear and detailed enough explanation

Playing today. Thanks for the rules refresher! Great video.

Thanks Paul and wonderful video as usual! I’ll be watching it several times until my copy arrives :) it will likely only be solo games for now

Thanks Paul. This game seemed so daunting at a glance, but as always you provide excellent, concise intruction.

This was extremely clear. Thanks for the video!

Video masterpiece as usual, thanks Paul =)

i have been waiting for this

Thank you for your efforts!!

Seen the video, got an incredible headache, but God now I just want to play it. hopefully it will arrive in time for Christmas

Solid video thank you so much, Rodney and you are the best at explaining games.

Very clear rules speech! I'm french and I easy understand ;)

I love the redesign in this game!

I discovered your channel with your On Mars How to Play last year. This game turned out to be a bit too much for me yet I ended up following your channel quite regularly since then and I can't wait for my preorder of Kanban EV to arrive next month. The solo mode of this one is so satisfying and I am looking forward your playthough. Your recommendation to teach/learn the details of a game during it rather than up front made me fall in love with heavy board games. So thank you sir, though my wallet maybe not so much. :)

Great video, thanks.. (and great rule book :))

Sandra terrifies me..

Fantastic video. I am so excited to play this game now, and regret not buying it!

Very helpful

as always - best way to learn a game is search for your videos :)

Your videos are great! I'll watch some for fun, even if I'll probably never play the game.

Looking forward to trying this one tonight, thanks for the solid run through Paul ;-), we're scared of Sandra

Invaluable resource, Paul, especially info on all the new stuff!

My copy arrived today and I was hoping to find either Paul, Rodney or John with a tutorial and looks like Paul has delivered!

Great vid, I kept thinking, hmm I’m sure he sounds like someone famous and then It twigged, you sound like Dave Gorman 😅

Nice video! Include something about the Supercharger Station sometime if you get a chance. It makes the Admin department much more desirable and adds some great endgame planning elements. Really liking the miniexpansion board!

Great video again Paul, but one minor thing: an overview of the board would have been handy during your explantation, now it is a bit hard to follow where all the action takes place.

28:55 three of the five upgraded designs are not flipped to their upgraded design side.

I still need to understand if Vital is a genius or if he s crazy. Maybe a bit of both :)

I'd love to see a solo mode rules video. The base rules are full of examples but not rely so in the solo rules and the playthrough is great but it's hard to find specific rules references in such a long video. Any chance of a solo rules video like the multiplayer?

Over 5 minutes just to describe the setup, that must be near to a record if it isn't actually one.

Paul (or indeed anyone!), can I ask what happens in a situation where the pace car completes a half lap (for the end of day meeting) on the same day as the end of the week meeting due to Sandra ending the day in administration? I’m rather bamboozled! I’m assuming only 1 meeting is carried out, but do both the production cycle marker, and the end of week marker both move, or perhaps only one?Is end of week scoring still performed? Many thanks.

In Administration, what does the red 1 shift icon mean which is located above the list of department icons? After choosing the 1 other department you'd like to work in, can you only use 1 shift at a time in that department? If I choose R&D, can I take the last car ignoring the Administration "spend 1 shift" icon and just spend 3 as if I had been in R&D in the first place?

Are the supply of car parts or parts voucher / books limited? Or should we substitute them if supply were empty? Thanks

I've watched this twice now and after the first time, thought, "I have no interest in this game." Then, after the second watch, I thought "this game seems pretty awesome." That said, it would be my first Vital game. I'll be playing mostly solo so going back and forth a bit.

how much does kanban ev: upgrade pack improve the game?

When french subtitles comes?

I see there is a rule change for Sandra with penalizing you 1 point Plus the shits under 5. Is there a rule change that requires you to speak on your pet project when you play it? Or did you misspeak on that? That isn't in the rules I have of the original game. Because later you did say you are not required to speak on your pet project. (I'm asking because I am going to teach this to a group, they own the new edition.) Guess I could d/l the rules and check.

These rules remind me of the scene in Monty Python's The Meaning of Life where the teacher (Cleese) gives his students impossible-to-follow instructions: "…will those of you who are playing in the match this afternoon move your clothes down on to the lower peg immediately after lunch before you write your letter home, if you're not getting your hair cut, unless you've got a younger brother who is going out this weekend as the guest of another boy, in which case collect his note before lunch, put it in your letter after you've had your hair cut, and make sure he moves your clothes down onto the lower peg for you. Now..." "Sir, my younger brother's going out with Dibble this weekend, sir, but I'm not having my hair cut today sir, so do I move my clothes down or..." "I do wish you'd listen, Wymer, it's perfectly simple. If you're not getting your hair cut, you don't have to move your brother's clothes down to the lower peg, you simply collect his note before lunch after you've done your scripture prep when you've written your letter home before rest, move your own clothes on to the lower peg, greet the visitors, and report to Mr Viney that you've had your chit signed."

I feel like after you have learned how to play this game, you could talk to Elon musk about running one of his Tesla factories.
